Ingebrigtsen wins 5,000m gold on return from Achilles surgery, becomes joint-most successful athlete in European Championships history

Jakob Ingebrigtsen won 5,000m gold at the European Championships in Birmingham on Monday, returning from 11 months out after Achilles surgery. The 25-year-old Norwegian's victory made him the joint-most successful athlete in the competition's history. The championships run through 16 August, with the 1,500m — an event dominated by the Ingebrigtsen surname since 2012 — now wide open in his absence.
